Design Pipelines as Aesthetic Articulators

A joint workshop of master students in Studio 2B from Arkitektskolen Aarhus and students from the Harbin Institute of Technology in Harbin, China employed nine ‘action words’ to instigate team-based investigations into the effects of computational and mechanical processes on an aesthetic. Each team’s word was translated first into a double-curved computational surface, next a ruled computational surface, then physically shaped with the 6-Axis robot to create molds for plywood veneer. The resulting columns ‘wear’ every aspect of this design pipeline process.
